Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday it has observed a neutron beam, a kind of radioactive ray, 13 times on the premises of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant after it was crippled by the massive March 11 quake-tsunami disaster.

TEPCO, the operator of the nuclear plant, said the neutron beam measured about 1.5 kilometers southwest of the plant's No. 1 and 2 reactors over three days from March 13 and is equivalent to 0.01 to 0.02 microsieverts per hour and that this is not a dangerous level.

The utility firm said it will measure uranium and plutonium, which could emit a neutron beam, as well.

In the 1999 criticality accident at a nuclear fuel processing plant run by JCO Co. in Tokaimura, Ibaraki Prefecture, uranium broke apart continually in nuclear fission, causing a massive amount of neutron beams.

In the latest case at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, such a criticality accident has yet to happen.

But the measured neutron beam may be evidence that uranium and plutonium leaked from the plant's nuclear reactors and spent nuclear fuels have discharged a small amount of neutron beams through nuclear fission.

TEPCO early morning of July 15, around 9:00 pm on April 14 announced that it had detected neutrons at the front gate of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Radiation dose is unknown, and may have come from the primary fuel of Unit 3 of hydrogen exploded Thursday morning.

TEPCO's english press releases do not give this detail. Their Japanese releases give radiation levels and wind speed as measured by their monitoring car, but it's hard for me to read the translated PDF. It looks like it's saying they have measured 0.001uSv/hour some places, 0.036uSv/hour others, and 90 uSv/hour in a couple.

If I got this right, normal background radiation is 2.4mSv/year, or about 0.3uSv/hour. So only the 90uSv/hr figure is at all abnormal. The column for neutron radiation appears to be zero in the pages I looked at, but it's hard to tell. Maybe there are a couple of lines beyond the Google Translate cutoff.
The 9pm release does not show neutrons; it shows only the 0.036uSv/hour of other radiation.

It's not a neutron beam. Reactors do not normally generate beams. It might indicate a leak of some fuel material; the iodine-131 and cesium-137 reported earlier decay by beta and gamma emission.
But as I say, I can't find the data and I don't know what is a normal neutron level.

They are not supposed to emit beams Shadow, however, real world and computer simulations can obviously be dramatically different, therefore; one more reason I equated this with a neutron bomb. The pieces fit.

This is real fucking bad news. How are they going to address this in a few days when the symptoms begin to show?

Run away as quickly as possible. Don't wait. Save yourself and don't rely on the government because the government lies. They don't want you to know the truth because the nuclear industry is so powerful.
